Congratulations to our U16A Boys who today won the CCB U16 Invitational Tournament after a great day of basketball in the Parochial Hall. Demons started slowly in the pool and lost to Moycullen by 4 points but recovered to beat a talented Liffey Celtics in the final pool game to advance to the quarter finals on a scoreline of 58-40.<\/p>\n
Our lads coached by the very experienced trio of Dave Lehane, D Looney & Shane Coughlan started to get into their groove in the quarter finals as they played Waterford Vikings in what proved to be a tough game with Demons leading 26-20 at half time. Demons really upped the tempo in the 3rd quarter to push out the lead to 43-27.<\/p>\n
In the semi finals Demons played Titans of Galway in what again proved to be a tight game. Demons led by 4 at half time but pushed on again in the 3rd & 4th quarters to qualify for the final.<\/p>\n
Prior to the final, a minutes silence was observed by all for the Parochial Hall Patron Eddie O’Brien who sadly passed away last night, Eddie has been a great servant to both Demons and to Cork & Irish Basketball through his great work with the Parochial Hall. Our sympathies are with his family and friends on their loss.<\/p>\n
In the final, Demons again played Moycullen but our lads were up for it from the get go and scoring tempo was good as Demons lead 28-16 at half time. Demons managed to push the lead out to 16 in the 3rd quarter but Moycullen came back to reduce the lead to 12 again (40-28) at the end of the 3rd.<\/p>\n
Demons managed to keep the energy levels going in the 4th quarter and ran out deserved winners on a scoreline of 51-44 after a great day in the Parochial Hall.<\/p>\n
Well done to the Players & Coaches and to all who turned out to support the team today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
